Interesting. I wonder if fiverr limits writers to using only three written words, composers and musicians to only three notes, voice over artists to only three spoken words, singers to only three notes, etc. when marketing their services by trying to adequately represent their work.

I appreciate the response. When you say that if a buyer asks a seller to share more past examples of their work, is that past work limited exclusively to work done on fiverr, or can the seller share examples of their past work done before they joined fiverr? I ask because for a completely new seller to fiverr there are no past examples of work that can be shared if fiverr does not allow a seller to do so. If it's possible for a completely new seller to share older, pre-fiverr work, how do they do so?

This makes perfect sense. Show, don't tell. But how is a new seller supposed to show their work if only allowed to show 3 images in a gig listing? I've seen a lot of other listings with over 20 images. Seems biased against new sellers who are at a competitive disadvantage when listing their gigs next to other sellers who are allowed to SHOW a lot more of their work. Obviously I'm new here. Maybe I'm missing something. I'd love to be clued in.

If I'm assuming correctly, you're only allowed to show three photos on your gig description, but I've seen a lot of fellow Photoshop editors with at least 20 photos in their gig description. I'd like to be able to do the same as it's obviously a bit more difficult to get customers if you're only showing 3 examples of your work compared to others who are showing 7x that amount. I've done a bit of research and it looks like linking to an outside portfolio site is not allowed. Others have suggested Live Portfolio, but (please correct me if I'm wrong) that looks like it will let you add additional photos to your gig from previous gigs you've completed. Classic Catch-22. How am I as a photo editor supposed to get gigs using minimal photos so that I can then use photos I edit for customers on my gig descriptions? It seems biased against new sellers at it puts them at a competitive disadvantage. If my assumption on how Live Portfolio works is wrong, how is it possible to have more than three photos on my gig descriptions?

Bumping this old thread because I have the same exact question as tariqul45 - How is it that some gigs have more than 3 photos?
